Dietary Ecology of Murinae (Muridae, Rodentia): A Geometric Morphometric Approach
Murine rodents represent a highly diverse group, which displays great ecological versatility. In the present paper we analyse the relationship between dental morphology, on one hand, using geometric morphometrics based upon the outline of first upper molar and the dietary preference of extant murine genera, on the other. This ecomorphological study of extant murine rodents demonstrates that die...
متن کامل(Rodentia: Muridae) from Peninsular Malaysia
There are 25 species of rats and mice (familly Muridae) in peninsular Malaysia (Medway 1978). Of these the karyotypes of 19 species have been described (Yong 1968, 1969 and 1973). The chromosomes of the other 6 species found in this country have, however, not been reported. Of these 6 species, the chromosomes of Hapalomys and Pithecheir have also not been reported from other countries. The pres...
متن کاملMorphometric variation in the forest rodent Malacomys edwardsi (Rodentia: Muridae) in Côte d’Ivoire
Objective: This study examined the intra-specific cranial morphometric variability between populations of Malacomys edwardsi from three distinct localities in Côte d’Ivoire. Methodology and results: The data set focused on 23 cranial measurements recorded on 158 skulls of M. edwardsi from Adiopodoumé (n = 43), Bolo (n = 34) and Taï (n = 81). Sexual and geographical variations were investigated ...
متن کاملgeometric morphometric analysis of the second upper molar of the genus apodemus (muridae: rodentia) in northern iran
wood mice of the genus apodemus are widespread in temperate areas of the palaearctic region. dental shape variation and morphological differences among three species of apodemus (a. witherbyi, a. hyrcanicus, a. uralensis) were investigated using outline-based geometric morphometrics of the second upper molar (m2/) and a morphological study of 92 museum specimens belonging to five populations of...
متن کاملMus Terricolor (rodentia, Muridae) Complex: Chromosomal Polymorphism
Mus terricolor chromosomal types I, II, III from different places of India were cytogenetically analyzed. Chromosome types II and III showed polymorphic pericentric inversions of autosomes 2 and 5 present in homozygous or heterozygous condition in the populations. Moreover, besides fixed heterochromatic arms on autosomes 1, 3, and 6; the autosome 8 in terricolor type III showed a large heteroch...
